Glass-Gripper G1-G11

Our handling systems use ultrasound-air-bearing and can be applied in any atmospheric process. The ultrasound-air-bearing generates a supporting gas film (air or process-gas) between surface and the substrate, therefore, any mechanical contact is avoided. The substrate hovers on a supporting gas film.

Top-Side Handling

Many handling processes need the use of attracting and repelling forces at the same time, e.g. top-side handling. For top-side handling, the repelling ultrasound forces are used in combination with attracting low-pressure forces. This technique enables an easy-to-use non-contact handling of parts, very much like the familiar top-side-gripping of parts. Additionally, form-unstable components can be smoothed, stabilized in their geometry and held in position, without any contact to the handling tool. The substrates are stabilized by adjustable side-stops.

Your Benefits

Our handling systems using the ultrasound air bearing technology can be applied in any atmospheric process. The ultrasound air bearing generates a supporting gas-film (air or process-gas) between its surface and the substrate. Thus, any mechanical contact
